BTW: Did you tune your car with just the Diablosport? Or did you have another tune besides?

Tuned with the diablosport. The A/F tables needed resetting, and we actually pulled timing, out, back to about 26 degrees, which netted more HP and TQ, not really sure why. After the tuning, the curve looked very similar to stock, just about 40 HP and 40 Tq higher from 2000 to 6500. I think that it was almost 35HP and 35ft lbs more at 2500 than prior to the headers and tuning. All tested on a dynojet that reads a little conservative. Diablo programmer is a nice tool, you can call them and tell them what you have done and they can send you programs for the unit to load into your car too, so I think that even a more highly modded motor could be tuned with that too. Alot better buy than a hypertech, if you are looking to go that route.

i bought the car used in april for 20,500.00 it came with 160 t-stat, 3.73 gears, lid, filter, lca's, sfc's welded on and the granateli mas. Oh and the seller was cool enough to give me all of the stock parts, a hypertech thingy and twisties with basically new nittos on them.

So far, I have recieved in gifts:
pro5.0 shifter - i installed
lous short stick - i installed
mti lid (its on the way)
Checvy ls1/ls6 book to teach me about my new engine

I have bought:
heads - waiting for install
cam - waiting for install
drag lites 15x10 for rear and 15x4 for the front - waiting for install
beautiful shoei helmet
tire gauge

Repairs:
rear end (still saving for the new rear end havent decided if I am going 9 in, 12 bolt, or a 12 bolt with 9 in conversion.)

I have to get my SVO in better running conditions for the purpose of daily driving before I can put my new toys in the car.

So I guess I am at like a little less than 23,700.00 not including the gas for driving 150 miles to and from the track each friday and the 15 bucks to race each time.

I just got my 99 WS6 TA a couple months for about 14K. Little higher than the book value, but I had been looking at them for a while and I finally decided I had to have my new toy! I had looked at other cars, but these kept drawing my attention so I went for it. All the extras (Listed in my signature.) were already on the car when I got it. No real power mods, buit hell if its already on there I'm not going to complain, less to put on later! I plan to do a lot more mods myself. I bought it as a daily driver but as a toy and project car as well, knwing that I would be putting some more money into it once I got it.
